About Me

My photo
I lost 103 pounds without surgery, and there was great rejoicing! However - over the last year and a half, life got in the way. Between serious bouts of fibromyalgia and debilitating migraines, I gained some weight, and found myself feeling dumpy, frumpy, and most definately in a slump. 2012 is over and the time has come to dump that frump slump, release the excess weight, change my attitude, and be and feel fabulous! This journey is about more than just weight loss. It is about facing and releasing all things that hold us back from living life to the fullest each and every day. Make the most of what you have, and live a "seize the moment" lifestyle. Join me on my journey, and dump your own slumps - whatever they may be. Welcome to Fabulous!

Attention, Please...

It amazes me what happens when you "pay attention".  In this modern and hectic life, so much occurs and fills the space that is normally consumed just by being consumed.  Busy to be busy, distracted to just be that way. 


And then, there is a moment of quiet, when mobile devices and televisions and ipods and all manner of thing falls away, and you can SEE what needs to be seen (and wonderful surprises as well), and attend to that which needs or desires attending, and be at peace knowing you make a difference just by paying attention. 


It was in one of those moments of attention that I found this quote - and boy, did it help me see...


"Once, there was no road where I wanted to go.  So I made my own.


And I haven't looked back ever since.


My dream is to carve my own path.  I was never one to follow maps. "

Carpe Diem, and so it is...
